This is just one of those things that you can't think about for too long. 3 BPM. The "Impossible Tempo". I consider tempos which are mathematically impossible "De-Tempos". "Okay, so what, I could easily play any song at 3 BPM, so what's the big deal?", you are probably thinking. Well, explain this: 1 (minute)/3 (Beats)= 33.3333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333 seconds between each note, considering that you are playing quarter notes in 4/4 time. Just try playing 3 quarter notes in 4/4 time at 3 beats per minute, in time.
